Now -- as the parent of kids with food allergies, I know they can be fatal. But I also know that you can not expect the rest of the world to move two feet to the left because you have a problem. You need to create your life in a way that you can manage whatever problem it is you have.
Not to go off on a tangent but there is a big difference in providing a SAFE (safe because food allergies can be fatal) learning environment in a public school versus an alcoholic adult feeling persuaded to make decisions. Ultimately the adults are making decisions in regards to food allergies/lunch box contents and alcohol culture but one effects the safety of children.
Said very respectfully from another mom with a kid who does have severe food allergies.
*in a nut shell, I'm cool with adults feeling ostracized by watching sitcoms. I'm not cool with kids feeling ostracized in public schools.
